NAOMI OSAKA - Sportswoman of the Year Nominee

Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Nominee Naomi Osaka won her second US Open in 2020, her third career Grand Slam, at the age of 22, beating Victoria Azarenka by two sets to one in the final. She has now won a Grand Slam in each of the last three years. She won the Laureus Breakthrough of the Year Award in 2019. She is the first Asian player to have reached world No.1. Her activism on Black Lives Matter led to her being recognised as one of the 2020 Sports Illustrated Sportspersons of the Year.

"I remember growing up and watching all my favourite athletes get nominated like Serena Williams of course, Usain Bolt and Roger Federer. Just being able to be in that group is very special for me."
